This phase II trial compares the effect of folate receptor alpha dendritic cells (FRαDCs) to placebo in treating patients with stage III or IV ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer. FRαDCs, a dendritic cell vaccine, is made from a person's white blood cells. The white blood cells are treated in the laboratory to make dendritic cells (a type of immune cell) mixed with folate receptor alpha (FRalpha), a protein found in high levels on ovarian tumor cells. FRαDCs work by boosting the immune system to recognize and destroy the tumor cells by targeting the FRalpha protein on the tumor cell. Placebo is an inactive substance that looks the same as, and is given the same way as, the active drug or treatment being tested. The effects of the active drug are compared to the effects of the placebo. Giving FRαDCs may work better in preventing or delaying recurrence compared to placebo in patients with stage III or IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

A Randomized Multicenter Phase II Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy and Immunogenicity of Vaccination With Folate Receptor Alpha Peptides With GM-CSF Versus GM-CSF Alone in Patients With Platinum Sensitive Ovarian Cancer and a Response or Stable Disease to Platinum Therapy

This is a double-blind, randomized, parallel groups Phase II trial. Patients with platinum-sensitive advanced ovarian cancer, defined as a lack of progression by RECIST v1.1 criteria following completion of standard-of-care chemotherapy, including a minimum of 4 cycles of a platinum-containing regimen. Patients will be randomized to either the vaccine regimen with GM-CSF adjuvant or GM-CSF adjuvant alone as a control group. Treatment will be administered as a consolidation therapy within one year of the last administration of platinum, targeting the first remission.

A Phase II Trial of TPIV200/huFR-1 (A Multi-Epitope Anti-Folate Receptor Vaccine) Plus Anti-PD-L1 MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) in Patients With Platinum Resistant Ovarian Cancer

This is a Phase 2 clinical trial, which tests two investigational drugs: TPIV200/huFR-1 (also called TPIV200), which is a vaccine consisting of proteins from the folate receptor alpha mixed with GM-CSF, and durvalumab (MEDI4736) , which is an antibody drug that help un-block parts of the immune system. The aim of this study is to find out whether these drugs, when given together are safe, and whether they are effective in treating cancer.

Vaccination with folate receptor-alpha peptides in patients with ovarian cancer following response to platinum-based therapy: A randomized, multicenter clinical trial

OBJECTIVE:

Folate receptor alpha (FRα) is overexpressed on >90% of high-grade epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC). Targeting FRα with antibody-drug conjugates has proven utility in the platinum-resistant setting. It is also a potential therapeutic target for immuno-oncologic agents, such as peptide vaccines that work primarily via adaptive and humoral immunity. We tested the hypothesis that FRα peptide immunization could improve outcomes in patients with EOC following response to platinum-based therapy.

METHODS:

We conducted a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TPIV200 (a multi-epitope FRα peptide vaccine admixed with GM-CSF) versus GM-CSF alone in 120 women who did not have disease progression after at least 4 cycles of first-line platinum-based therapy. Patients were vaccinated intradermally once every 4 weeks up to 6 times, followed by a boosting period of 6 vaccinations at 12-week intervals. Primary endpoints included safety, tolerability, and progression free survival (PFS).

RESULTS:

At study termination with a median follow-up of 15.2 months (range 1.2-28.4 months), 68 of 119 intention-to-treat patients had disease progression (55% in TPIV200 + GM-CSF arm and 59% in GM-CSF alone arm). The median PFS was 11.1 months (95% CI 8.3-16.6 months) with no significant difference between the treatment groups (10.9 months with TPIV200 + GM-CSF versus 11.1 months with GM-CSF, HR, 0.85; upper 90% CI 1.17]. No patient experienced a ≥ grade 3 drug-related adverse event.

CONCLUSION:

TPIV200 was well tolerated but was not associated with improved PFS. Additional studies are required to uncover potential synergies using multiepitope vaccines targeting FRα. Trial Registration NLM/NCBI Registry, NCT02978222, https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?term=NCT02978222.

Background:

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to date have demonstrated limited activity in advanced ovarian cancer (OC). Folate receptor alpha (FRα) is overexpressed in the majority of OCs and presents an attractive target for a combination immunotherapy to potentially overcome resistance to ICI in OCs. The current study sought to examine clinical and immunologic responses to TPIV200, a multiepitope FRα vaccine administered with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor durvalumab in patients with advanced platinum-resistant OC.

Methods:

Following Simon two-stage phase II trial design, 27 patients were enrolled. Treatment was administered in 28-day cycles (intradermal TPIV200 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for 6 cycles and intravenous durvalumab for 12 cycles). Primary endpoints included overall response rate and progression-free survival at 24 weeks. Translational parameters focused on tumor microenvironment, PD-L1 and FRα expression, and peripheral vaccine-specific immune responses.

Results:

Treatment was well tolerated, with related grade 3 toxicity rate of 18.5%. Increased T cell responses to the majority of peptides were observed in all patients at 6 weeks (p<0.0001). There was one unconfirmed partial response (3.7%) and nine patients had stable disease (33.3%). Clinical benefit was not associated with baseline FRα or PD-L1 expression. One patient with prolonged clinical benefit demonstrated loss of FRα expression and upregulation of PD-L1 in a progressing lesion. Despite the low overall response rate, the median overall survival was 21 months (13.5–∞), with evidence of benefit from postimmunotherapy regimens.

Conclusions:

Combination of TPIV200 and durvalumab was safe and elicited robust FRα-specific T cell responses in all patients. Unexpectedly durable survival in this heavily pretreated population highlights the need to investigate the impact of FRα vaccination on the OC biology post-treatment.

Folate Receptor Alpha Peptide Vaccine Generates Immunity in Breast and Ovarian Cancer Patients

Q1 · MEDICINE

Article

Author: Mangskau, Toni K. ; Shreeder, Barath ; Wilson, Glynn ; Puglisi-Knutson, Danell ; Erskine, Courtney L. ; Kasi, Pashtoon M. ; Knutson, Keith L. ; Block, Matthew S. ; Padley, Douglas ; Dietz, Allan ; Gustafson, Michael P. ; Visscher, Dan W. ; Hobday, Timothy J. ; Kalli, Kimberly R.

Abstract:

Purpose: Folate receptor alpha (FR) is overexpressed in several cancers. Endogenous immunity to the FR has been demonstrated in patients and suggests the feasibility of targeting FR with vaccine or other immune therapies. CD4 helper T cells are central to the development of coordinated immunity, and prior work shows their importance in protecting against relapse. Our previous identification of degenerate HLA-class II epitopes from human FR led to the development of a broad coverage epitope pool potentially useful in augmenting antigen-specific immune responses in most patients.Patients and Methods: We conducted a phase I clinical trial testing safety and immunogenicity of this vaccine, enrolling patients with ovarian cancer or breast cancer who completed conventional treatment and who showed no evidence of disease. Patients were initially treated with low-dose cyclophosphamide and then vaccinated 6 times, monthly. Immunity and safety were examined during the vaccine period and up to 1 year later.Results: Vaccination was well tolerated in all patients. Vaccine elicited or augmented immunity in more than 90% of patients examined. Unlike recall immunity to tetanus toxoid (TT), FR T-cell responses developed slowly over the course of vaccination with a median time to maximal immunity in 5 months. Despite slow development of immunity, responsiveness appeared to persist for at least 12 months.Conclusions: The results demonstrate that it is safe to augment immunity to the FR tumor antigen, and the developed vaccine is testable for therapeutic activity in most patients whose tumors express FR, regardless of HLA genotype.
